Not sure, have I do port forwarding?

Answer 1

To connect to the MySQL cartridge running on OpenShift you have to first run rhc port-forward command. rhc is the command-line client that you can use to work with OpenShift. It is a ruby gem that you can install using gem install rhc command. Refer to https://www.openshift.com/blogs/getting-started-with-port-forwarding-on-openshift and https://www.openshift.com/blogs/set-up-local-access-to-openshift-hosted-services-with-port-forwarding
